Gainesville Compost is a pedal-powered community compost network in Gainesville, FL.
We make sustainable soil for the urban agriculture movement!


What We Do:


Equipped with trailers & collection buckets, the Gainesville Compost Bike Crew picks up food waste from participating restaurants & cafes.

We then distribute food scraps to our network of composting systems at community partner locations throughout the city.

Gainesville Compost benefits community gardens, home gardeners & urban farmers who grow more food with our Compost CSA.
